Tim,

Thanks a lot for figuring out the cause of the problem for me.

Han,

Your protein has proline as the first residue in each segment. Because
of proline's funny cyclic geometry, you need to patch those N-termini
with the PROP patch in the topology file (psfgen: first PROP). Without
the patch, those first nitrogens are of type NH3, which yielded your
original problem. The attched psfgen script works.

Also, the script you sent me explicitly patched the N and C termini
(first NTER; last CTER). Note that psfgen does this automatically for
the first and last protein residues in a segment. Finally, you should
also use alias ILE CD1 CD.
